The origin and effect of small RNA signaling in plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Given their sessile condition, land plants need to integrate environmental cues rapidly and send signal throughout the organism to modify their metabolism accordingly. Small RNA (sRNA) molecules are among the messengers that plant cells use to carry such

Cytomegalovirus infection is common in prostate cancer and antiviral therapies inhibit progression in disease models

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Human cytomegalovirus infection is common in normal prostate epithelium, prostate tumor tissue, and prostate cancer cell lines. CMV promotes cell survival, proliferation, and androgen receptor signaling. Anti‐CMV pharmaceutical compounds in clinical use inhibited cell expansion in prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo, motivating investigation ...

Transposon Silencing of Small RNAs

open access: yesDevelopmental Cell, 2011
Transposons and fragments of transposable elements make up approximately half of the human genome; mobilization of these elements can destabilize the genome and lead to disease-associated mutations. In 2003, miRNAs and siRNAs were known to silence target mRNAs, but small RNAs had not been directly linked to transposon control.

Viral suppressors: Combatting RNA silencing [PDF]

open access: yesNature Plants, 2017
[EN] Plants defend themselves from invading viruses using RNA silencing. However, plant viruses try to spoil this defensive mechanism by expressing one or more proteins that act as RNA silencing suppressors. One such protein spoils plant defence by transporting the silencing signal into the peroxisomes to avoid its systemic spread.

Adenosine A3 receptor antagonists as anti‐tumor treatment in human prostate cancer: an in vitro study

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The A3 adenosine receptors (A3ARs) are overexpressed in prostate cancer. AR 292 and AR 357, as A3AR antagonists, are capable of blocking proliferation, modulating the expression of drug transporter genes involved in chemoresistance, ferroptosis, and the hypoxia response, and inducing cell death.

Possible role of human ribonuclease dicer in the regulation of R loops

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
R loops play an important role in regulating key cellular processes such as replication, transcription, centromere stabilization, or control of telomere length. However, the unscheduled accumulation of R loops can cause many diseases, including cancer, and neurodegenerative or inflammatory disorders. Interestingly, accumulating data indicate a possible

AGO/RISC-mediated antiviral RNA silencing in a plant in vitro system

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2013
AGO/RISC-mediated antiviral RNA silencing, an important component of the plant’s immune response against RNA virus infections, was recapitulated in vitro. Cytoplasmic extracts of tobacco protoplasts were applied that supported Tombusvirus RNA replication,

Long non‐coding RNAs as therapeutic targets in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and clinical application

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) occupy an abundant fraction of the eukaryotic transcriptome and an emerging area in cancer research. Regulation by lncRNAs is based on their subcellular localization in HNSCC. This cartoon shows the various functions of lncRNAs in HNSCC discussed in this review.

RH3 enhances antiviral defense by facilitating small RNA loading into Argonaute 2 at endoplasmic reticulum–chloroplast membrane contact sites

open access: yesNature Communications
While RNA silencing is crucial for plant resistance against viruses, the cellular connections between RNA silencing and antiviral responses in plants remain poorly understood.
